When the crystal current diode current is large, the bias is ______________?
Correct answer: A. forward
- A. forward
- B. inverse
- C. poor
- D. reverse
Explanation
A large diode current normally occurs under forward bias, when the junction barrier is reduced and majority carriers cross the junction easily. Reverse or inverse bias permits only a small leakage current until breakdown.
